Once every transfer we get to do divisiones ( or splits) with the sister training leaders here for one day. And so that is what I did on Thursday! I was with a latina, which was a little different for me since I couldn't speak any English! And we were in her area, so I didn't know anyone all over again. But it was interesting to be with a different companion and see how they do things! It was a good learning experience :) And she told me my Spanish was good, which I don't believe, but hey, thats gotta mean something coming from a native spanish speaker, right? Then the next day we had our multi zone conference with the mission president. It was super awesome! Him, his wife, the APs and the ZLs and our stake president all spoke and it was great. The people here are so awesome!
As for investigators, I really don't have much to tell you there. We don't have very many investigators because before, all of my companion's investigators were in a different area where we have elders now. So we are working on that one! It is super hard because everyone either doesn't answer their door or they only want to talk to us because we are gringas. Yep! We have one investigator that we found named Ligia and she is super awesome. She is really receptive and I think she really has the desire to learn more but she is so busy... always! We went by three times last week and she never could talk to us. So hopefully tonight she will be able to! We also have an investigator that is getting baptized in December, but technically she isn't our investigator since she is in the elders' area. But we still visit her because Hna. Marley knows her and taught her for a long time. Other than these two, we really don't have any solid investigators. We have been working a lot with less active members though, and hopefully that will go somewhere. We talked to a less active member a few days ago and she knows that she needs to go back to church and she has a goal to go to the temple. So hopefully she is actually willing to make that change!
Also, I had the opportunity to hand wash my clothes for the first time...let me tell you, it is not fun!! It takes forever!! So those of you with washing machines, be grateful that you don't have to hand wash your clothes every week because it stinks! I better get used to it...I have 16 more months of doing it!
Anyways, I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving and take time to thank our Heavenly Father for all your blessings, because we really are so blessed! In the words of Josh Groban, "There's so much to be thankful for" :). Have a great week!
